Transcription
And what I was left feeling after this trip to NY, and after a very difficult year in 29 Pieces, and feeling marginalized or not really considered by NY friends was... not much.
I hope someone feels that I have been significant and positive for them. This is something we can't dwell on. Continue to love, to help, to give attention, to serve.
